jackdog, that is the way it gets when some folks lose and are losing. no poker face. some folks are sore losers. i have played 9 ball and poker lots over the years and many don't know how to lose gracefully. often resorts in blaming others or just a snotty sour mood in general. happy as hell when they win tho. top of the world and the rock bottom. i am not jumping for joy with my losses here at all, but still optimistic or will take it as it comes. this IS gambling, nt something a broker would rec. more cicivility will return to this board once an uptrend begins. human nature with some more than others. glty
